Less Stress

idea posted by Dipika Das Associate/Sr. Associate -(NonTechnical), ABC Consultants Private Limited

Generally after marriage women have lot of other commitments other than work. If you are a techie you need to constantly innovate and invent which outs you under stress. So moving up the ladder might reduce it to some extent..... :)

Yes i too cant agree more.. they tend to take it a bit easy at work post-marriage as they have other important roles to play like looking after their family. So a profile where they have less work stress is usually preferred by them.

Is that so?

idea posted by S. Muralidharan Executive Director, Knowledge Foundation & Campus Around the Corner
Every working person wants leadership role in some form or the other, why singling out tech women alone. Every human being for that matter aims at comfortable living, expecting to weild the power to control every other individual, be it servant, driver, clerical staff, and other professionals, whether eligible to rule them over or not. That's human psychology. If we were to cultivate paddy or wheat on our own, most of us would stop eating rice and wheat and look for alternate food or health tonics!

It becoz of various factor 1)Change in the frame of mind ,after marriage they feel to become more responsible and accountable in their personal life and same is reflected in the professional as well 2)They have become more mature and are in the position to take responsibility.In managerial role you are accountable for juniors,subordinates as well as this is the requirement of the job and hence married women are better suited to them 3)Married women means more respect which she perceives for her and she aspires and strives for the same after marriage

For sure, everybody wants to be manager as fast as possible, irrespective of job profile or gender for that matter.

Perhaps Mr.Muralidharan is right bcz this is basic want of every professional to get promoted. In fact my experience shows ladies want less load and responsibilities after marriage as I have seen corporate life...

As in the home, so in the office too.

After marriage she becomes the manager of home. Though more responsible to be a manager, has its own advantage of power. With more powers one can get a booster energy to accompish.

Perfect reasoning Mr.Gopalakrishnan...they are the real managers...at home and at office...

Power (Shakti)

idea posted by Himanshu Joshi Regional Manager, INCS
I would not know how well the idea by Dipika Das is supported with statistical evidence, but Women, in the Indian context, is the embodiment of "Shakti", who is endowed with all forms of power. Managerial assignments, in business parlance are centres of power to the extent of their jurisdiction. Marriage, is possibly the biggest management challenge one can take in life and it appears reasonable / logical to attribute this preference of women the exercise of power. Having said / written the above, I would prefer to differ when this preference is attributed to "Tech" only women. This is creating genders within genders. Thank You.

forgive my sarcasm, i have read the article and since its author cannot even spell the word 'marriage' correctly, i have no further comments to that contribution. fyi, subordinates are the tools of productivity and are not the pills of self relief - that's cruel and selfish.

There you are Basil.... Dipikajee seems to be either in a funny mood or has some misconceptive ego about marriage and the professional ladders... I have seen many super performing ladies but marriage doesn't really take them to managerial level.

To be married is to enter into family life and to be a manager just needs to develop an attitude of accepting the challenging tasks...

If someone is preferring promotion immediately after marriage just to be at the leisure such techies would ruin the section or a division they are heading. Irrespective of your marital status, manager has to perform, perform and perform or PERISH... 

Someway Dipikajee seems to be a confused person.... As I can read her mind. Sorry Dipikajee for my blunt views.

It gives them more time to concentrate on the family. Also some women lose motivation once they get married because then their priorities change. Also societal and family fators rein them in.

Not Just after marriage

idea posted by Neerav Galathia Sales Engineer, Aerzen Machines (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Have you ever observed women having a mechanical role.No we cant find that even the core mechanical companies recruiting woman are stationing thwm in managerial roles even they seems unmature to perform that role initially. This is the scenario and not only after marriage but also even before marriage they always do managerial kind of roles.There exists some limitations on females like they can not handle shopfloor along with workers.They will just handle by generating computer datas and reports.They cant do night shifts etc..bcoz of these all limitations they prefer managerial roles even b4 marraige
